Permaculture Teacher Training
Orcas Island, WA
August 10-17, 2008
At the Bullock's Permaculture Homestead
Being excited about Permaculture is a good place to start, but pulling off a great Permaculture course in your community takes good planning, a bit of homework, and some sharing of ideas. It's a huge concept and in this course we will focus in on the conceptual framework of how to deliver Permaculture to your local communities in an organized, productive and empowering way that will get others as excited as you are about Permaculture.
Topics Include:
Educational Theory
Group Facilitation
Budgeting
Food
Lesson Development
Projects
Plant Acquisition
Learning Process
Team Building
Marketing
Health and Safety
Building local guilds
Fund Raising
Nursery Development
Experiential Education Cycle
Logistics
Course Site Check list
Resource lists/timelines
Hands-on skills
Developing Non-profits
Solar Hot water
Using the amazing Bullock Homestead as our classroom, we will explore three major focus areas:
1. How do people learn and how can we create experiences that people get the maximum effect from.
2. How effective planning and logistics lead to improved course outcomes.
3. Improving our own skill level in Permaculture concepts and hands-on skills.
Mornings will be spent in educational theory and group dynamics. After lunch groups will be developing a Course Design Matrix, recipe cards for new teachers to take back to their communities. And afternoons will be spent honing and developing personal skills on a 20 year Permaculture homestead. Evenings will focus on resources to help your course take shape. Our final day, to check our progress, we will be delivering a one day Permaculture workshop to a group of college students. There will be ample time for networking and sharing specifics about your intended course particulars. Students will leave with many tools to put to use as Permaculture educators.
Instructors: Michael Becker, Dave Boehnlein, Douglas Bullock, Samuel Bullock
